Discreet Biohazard Cleanup Near Spring Meadows College Station, TX

College Station grew up around Texas A&M University — the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas opened in October 1876 as the first public institution of higher learning in Texas.

The town took its name from the railroad depot established beside the college, whose sign simply read 'College.'

College Station was incorporated in 1938, when the incorporation election was famously held inside the train depot and passed 217 to 39, and its first City Council was made up of A&M faculty members.

College Station had a population of 120,511 in the 2020 Census, up from 93,857 in 2010.
